Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 228

Leah looked at Ron. who was still in an unconscious state.

There's no telling when he'll regain consciousness...

She sighed softly and said. "Alright."

George drove Leah back to the White's residence, then he left. With Ron being admitted to the hospital for an indefinite amount of time. George could no longer stay with Leah to protect her. Instead, he sent a few more men to guard her place.

It was a dark and stormy night. For some reason. Leah woke from a deep sleep with a start.

Serena was staying in the room next to hers.

Leah blinked a few times. Sweat glistened on her forehead.

Why am I sweating so hard? I wasn't having any nightmares just now.

She tried to go back to sleep but to no avail. Then, she put on a jacket and made her way downstairs to the kitchen to warm some milk.

Wlien Leah was slowly sipping on the milk, the kitchen door swung open all of a sudden. Leah thought her heart might jump out of her chest at that moment. She quickly tinned on her phone and was about to press the speed dial.

She had tinned on the kitchen light earlier, and she could see the person clearly as they stepped into the room.

It was one of the men who were sent there by George.

The man saw Leah as well. He swallowed nervously and lowered his gaze. "Ms. White, you're up?"

"I woke up and wanted to have some milk." Leah frowned slightly when she noticed that the man was completely soaked. "What happened? Why didn't you use an umbrella to get here?"

"I was in a hurry." The man replied. "I saw a suspicious man outside the house just now. and I was worried that he might harm you. So. I rushed here in the rain to check how tilings were. I'm sorry if I've surprised you."

The man had an apologetic look on liis face, and it seemed genuine to Leah.

Leah lowered her guard slightly upon hearing liis explanation.

"Is that right? It's probably just a passerby. I'm an ordinary citizen, after all. I doubt that anyone would try so hard to assassinate me." Leah shook her head and let out a sigh.

The man nodded vigorously in agreement. "Of course!"

Leah glanced at the clock on the wall and said. "It's getting late. You and the guys should stay in the guest rooms on the first floor tonight. We have bathrobes ready in the rooms. Remember to take a shower so you won't catch a cold."

The man looked at Leah gratefully. "Thank you. Ms. White."

Leah washed her cup and headed for her bedroom.

The man watched and waited until she was completely out of sight. Then, he silently took out his phone and walked over to a quiet comer to make a phone call.

There was a major event happening in Linkville soon.

They were having Pasteria's presidential nominating convention in Linkville, and Jackson was one of the nominees running for the position.

In truth, Jackson had the best prospect of winning among the candidates. He was merely attending the convention out of formality.

For the people of Linkville, this was good news. After all, Jackson was a citizen of Linkville. so he would have a fair knowledge of their city's economic issues and development. Moreover, with his connection to the Howard Group, a bright and exciting future seemed possible for them if Jackson wins the election.

The nominating convention was getting a lot of attention as the date approached.

On the first day of December. Han and Ben arrived outside the venue of the nominating convention at eight in the morning.

As soon as Han exited the car. a security guard came up to him to verify liis ID card and admission pass.

Ben was holding a laptop in his arm. The security guard checked it thoroughly as well before letting him in.

Ben was having a hard time keeping liis expression cool and composed, whereas Han remained expressionless the whole time.

The pair entered the hall and spotted Jackson, who was seated in the front row. almost immediately. The man was wearing a black suit, and he smiled amiably each time someone went up to him to offer their greetings.

Soon afterward, the nominating convention began.

Wlien it was time for Jackson to give a speech onstage, the audience fell silent and waited with eager anticipation.

Jackson smiled slightly and plugged liis USB flash drive into the laptop. He was going to show everyone a slideshow presentation of all his past contributions to Linkville and his future plans moving forward.

He had a confident look in his eyes as he started. "Hello, everyone. I'm Jackson Lamere..."

Jackson hadn't even finished his introduction when he noticed that people were murmuring among themselves.

"What's this?!"

"Oh my god! How could this be?"

"I never thought he'd do something like that! He's practically throwing his career out the window!"

"Why is he showing us something like this?!"

Jackson had a sense of foreboding as he detected more and more looks of shock and disbelief among the audience.

He quickly tinned around to look at the huge LED screen behind him. Once he took in the content playing on the screen. Jackson was so shocked he froze to the spot.

Instead of what he had prepared for the convention, the slideshows were evidence and documents of Jackson's illegal activities up to date.

His expression hardened into one of extreme malevolence.

He tinned to face the audience and met Han's cool, piercing gaze. It dawned on him almost instantaneously.

Jackson held up the microphone whilst keeping a fixed gaze on Han. "Did you do this?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

There's no way I can talk my way out of this now that all of the evidence is out in the open!

Han got up from his seat and answered. "Yes."

Jackson bellowed menacingly. "Since when did you start gathering all these? Why would you do this?! Is it still not enough what the Lamere family has done for you?"

"Jackson, you’ve done too much evil. I can't turn a blind eye to it anymore." Han looked at him impassively.

Jackson was momentarily stunned. Then, he chuckled sinisterly. "So. you got your memories back! Hahaha! I just pity my naive daughter who only has eyes for you. We had foolishly taken in an enemy all this time!"

Han's face darkened upon hearing that.

"Enemy? You did all this to yourself." Han continued expressionlessly. "I had no intentions of working with you since the very beginning. I would have never agreed to your requests if it weren't for your threats."

"Also, it may seem like you were constantly helping me. but truthfully, you were trying to gain control over me and the Howard Group all this time." Han stared stonily at him. "Jackson, you were too full of yourself."

Jackson burst out laughing.

Indeed. I was too full of myself.

I thought that I was ready and that I had complete control of Han. Yet. I underestimated him.

Han Howard turned out to be a far more formidable opponent than I had imagined!

"How did you get your hands on the evidence?" Jackson had one final question.

He was confident that he had cleaned up everything related to his illegal activities.

Han replied in a monotonous voice. "You should ask the officers of the Bureau of Investigation about that."

Just then, a group of men rushed into the hall and surrounded Jackson.

"Jackson Lamere. surrender yourself now!"
